United Cleaning Services began in 2005, offering commercial contract cleaning. As they grew, they began to specialize in apartment buildings, cleaning the communal areas. This was extended to offering a reach and wash window cleaning service to these buildings.

​As most apartment blocks have grounds that need looking after, it became apparent that UCS could add another string to their bow. After investing in various pieces of grounds maintenance equipment, and acquiring some knowledge around plants and shrubs, they were able to offer Grounds Maintenance to those apartment block customers. So already UCS were able to offer services that would normally have required separate contractors. Property management companies were really happy that someone was not only going to offer a quality, reliable service, but also making their administration easier.

A little while later, UCS were being asked about carrying out minor property maintenance jobs in these properties. So they now offer light bulb replacement, smoke alarm battery replacement, door kick and finger plate replacement, repairing or replacing stair cappings and scuff mark removal.
